| Sumario: | The genus Pseudarge GUSSAKOVSKIJ, 1935 gen. rev. is removed from synonymy with Alloscenia
ENDERLEIN, 1919, and Alloscenia syn. n. is synonymised with Arge SCHRANK, 1802. Alloscenia maculitarsis
ENDERLEIN, 1919 syn. n. is synonymised with the Afrotropical Arge massajae (GRIBODO, 1879) and Arge
goellnerae sp. n. is described as a new species from the Afrotropical region. This paper provides a key for the
six known Palaearctic species of Pseudarge including re-descriptions of one East European and two Central
Asian species of the genus. A lectotype for Pseudarge rubicunda GUSSAKOVSKIJ, 1935 is designated. The
following new combinations are proposed: Pseudarge sinica (WEI & NIE) comb. n., P. wui (WEI & NIE)
comb. n. and P. tricincta (WEN & WEI) comb. n. Drawings of all species are presented together with a
current distribution map of all Pseudarge and Afrotropical Arge species. The taxonomic relationships of the
species are discussed.
